Black and white lantern slide showing an unnamed European female missionary sitting in a rickshaw or garetta on a road near property of the Congo Balolo Mission. One Congolese man in a suit and pith helmet holds the front end of the rickshaw, whilst another man in a shirt and trousers stands at the rear. Both men are barefoot. The female missionary wears a light dress, stockings and shoes and a large pith helmet. The slide is captioned "J.J.M", which may refer to the J J Murray Conference. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission Regions Beyond Missionary Union after 1900.
